Re: Aristea ecknonii

David,

     Thank you for the information.  That is twice now I have found major errors with Floridata, and I may stop using it.  I have Aristea plants in two places, and I think I will try gently lifting the most smothered ones and putting them in 16â pots where they will get a lot more sun and will not have to compete with Camellias.

   Compounding cultural issues here is our soil.  Gardening here is like gardening in a kiddie sand box.  Should I plant them in pots filled with sand, or maybe plant them in a good potting mix instead?  I love this plant, and want it to be happy.  What is the real cold hardiness of Aristea ecklonii?  There is conficting information on that.
